In spite of the fact that the fatality risk from a mattress fire is extremely small with only about 1 in 1 million chance. The government has its bit by passing the law keeping the safety of its citizens in mind, it has however seemed to overlook the fact that to make mattresses safe and flame proof they have in all cases to be treated with harsh chemicals that impart flame retardant properties to the mattress. Some of these chemicals are extremely dangerous with potential for causing serious health hazards to humans. Using these mattresses for a long time can pose certain serious health risks such as a serious risk of cancer. Short term effects are symptoms such as itchiness, rashes, watery eyes, difficulty breathing, hyperventilation, shortness of breath, dizziness, among other allergy like symptoms.

In fact, the new law states that even crib and youth mattresses should be made flame proof. Many scientists through their research have proved that these chemicals are directly responsible for sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. Concerned parents and SIDS support groups agree to this finding. Further it is also a fact that in countries where they don't use these flame retardant chemicals, the rate of SIDS is virtually non-existent. The harsh chemicals that are used to make the mattresses fame proof often contain phosphorus, arsenic or antimony. These chemicals could be responsible for SIDS.

Most of the time babies are exposed to sub-lethal doses of toxic gases in their cots. Hence no harmful results can be observed immediately, however over a long period the effects do become apparent. Occasionally, however, all the above circumstances do co-exist and a SIDS death ensues. The recent statistics reveal that over 3,000 new infants succumb to SIDS every year in America alone. This means every night 9 infants are taken from their loving families by this silent killer.
